Friday Garden, and More!

Re-screening the back door. As always with these old houses. prep takes the most time. Witness:

Establishing shot...

Some of the gazillion stapes I still need to remove.

And structural repairs.

I imagine that the huge number of staples is a result of pulling off old screen and stapling new screen on. By the looks of it, a number of times. My plan is to tack the screen up with staples, then nail or staple on some nice trim to hold it in place

The garden:

The kitchen bed. I'm training the muskmelon and watermelon out of the bed. Plastic bags to keep grass and weeds down.

Last, but not least, Royal Candle. Smallish, I suspect, because I moved them so close to blooming.

My return from the job interview yesterday took me near enough to York and the Big Box stores that I swung by Lowe's and Home depot, looking for Rosemary. The only ones to be had were at Home Depot. They were potted in 8' plastic pots. Asking price was $14.99. Even if I were flush wit' cash (and I'm not) I would refuse the exorbitance.
